Feed 370 families each week at the Thursday Table in Bengaluru

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 370 each week. Donations have dropped by about 50% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bengaluru market and keep every receipt. Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $250 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $100 • Refrigeration and electricity: $20 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $130 Thanks for being kind about this.
